It could be a number of things.

If it is really a black smoke, it points to a fuel-rich mixture. Could be a problem with your fuel system or your Airflow and O2 sensors. Normally you should see an error code for most of this over OBD2.

If it is more of a blue-ish smoke, you could have a problem with oil leaking into the combustion chambers. Not unusual for BMW which where pushed while still cold.
